Male NPT Pipe Swivel to Male AN 90 Elbow, Black Aluminum

Now you can adapt your NPT port to AN, while turning a corner and ensuring that the AN fitting will be pointing in the direction you need when the fitting is tightened!

Similar in function to a one-piece AN822 elbow adapter, these black anodized aluminum fittings have two-piece construction to allow the NPT threads to turn independently of the elbow portion. This lets you tighten the NPT threads without rotating the entire fitting. Tapered threads seal by "jamming" the threads, and you can't always predict which direction the fitting will point when it gets tight enough to seal.

The swivel nut also lets you check tightness of the NPT threads without affecting hose alignment. You also don't need to worry about the weight of the hose unscrewing the fitting in use. The male AN fitting end conforms to SAE / JIC specifications.

Note: NPT nomenclature can be confusing! The nominal size refers to the inside diameter of the pipe, not the outside diameter of the threads. If you are not sure what size you need, check in our Threaded Plumbing Fitting Identification Guide.

NPT fittings can also cause concern because of the way they fit together. The threads are tapered to seal by an interference fit, which means that a properly-sized NPT fitting should never bottom out in the port. The male fitting should "jam" when screwed about halfway in. More information and torque recommendations can be found in our Guide to Using NPT Fittings.
